About Michelle Baxter

We are Michelle and Martin, based in the UK. I have a full time job working in Agriculture and Michelle runs her own Beauty Therapy business from home. We have two grown up daughters Sarah who lives with our grandson James and works in Leeds and Rachel in London.

Michelle Baxter purchased this barn in 2013

Why Michelle Baxter chose Saint-Julien-le-Vendômois

After visiting our family several times we fell in love with the area, so when the ideal property became available we jumped at the opportunity to buy. Jumped is a bit of an exaggeration as anyone who has bought a French property will testify! From when we started our enquiries to when we actually owned it took nearly a year. It is rural in a beautiful area, just a few miles from the Dordoge and quiet but with plenty to do close to the gite.

What makes this barn unique

Nothing for you is too much trouble for you; from your Welcome Pack, to helping and advising on what to see and do, we will try to ensure this will be your best holiday ever!

A wonderful week, lovely house and great area

Gite was exactly as described on the website, clean, spacious and with good facilities including useful extras like dishwasher, BBQ, Wifi. The pool was just the right size and a perfect temperature for the kids to cool off on what was a really hot, sunny week and garden was big and enclosed, great for the kids and the dog. Gite also stayed nice and cool. Local area was beautiful and loads to do, local markets, lovely horseracing, chateau's, quaint villages and a fantastic lake with beach, pedallos, Go-ape type thing and Wakeboarding centre. Simone and Dave (and their kids) who run the property where lovely and really helpful without being too intrusive. All in all a perfect family holiday.

Charming Gites in lovely countryside

Myself, two grown up daughters plus my brother and sister-in-law had a wonderful week in Gites de Papillon. Simone was a perfect host and gave us much useful local information. The village of Sugur le Chateaux is fabulous and one of the officially niominated most beautiful villages in France. Mondays in the village feature a local festival in season with long table seating and local producers selling great food and wine etc to eat at your outdoor table. The corner shop is where you order your croissants and pain au chocolat for the following day. Fabulous lake with beach and great restaurant 20 minutes away. Local kayaking down the Dronne river is great. Love this area.

A wonderfull place for a family holiday

We are family of 5 (kids 10,8 and 1) and we had the most wonderful holiday. Our 8 year old cried on the penultimate day as his holiday was coming to an end. The Gite and hosts were both amazing. Lots to do within an hours drive. We had a great variety of days out ranging from beautiful lakes, villages, swimming pools and plenty of long lunches. Can't recommend Papillion Gites enough.

A week definitely wasn't long enough!

A truly beautiful location - fabulous countryside, charming medieval villages, excellent roads - although cycling would be for the more energetic (very hilly!)

The Gite is beautifully decorated and has everything that you could possibly want and having Simone and family nearby was a great reassurance (good advice about where to go & what to do & how to avoid traffic when travelling back as well as good playtimes for my son)

The only very tiny fly in the ointment was the very large family group with dogs in the adjacent Gite who did dominate the pool and surround but it wasn't really too bad and we did settle into an unofficial sharing regime regarding the pool!

Owner's Response: Thank you for your great review and the gîte lived up to everything and more than you expected. Glad there was only one "very tiny fly in the ointment" this was the first time we have ever had the other gîte so full and would seriously consider allowing this again following your comment. Thanks again so glad you had a great holiday.

Just an outstanding place to stay. I love it :)

I drove to the gite without the aid of Sat Nav and found it without any problems. Jasmin and myself were warmly welcomed upon our arrival by Dave and Simone. The Gite was so well equipped it was better than being at home. The grounds of the property were amazing, so much land to wander around and when it was warm and sunny, just laze around. Lubersac and Pompadour were both only a short drive away and the added bonus of the vets at pompadour being English speaking, infact 1 of the vets is Aussie, bonus! Although we stayed there in winter there was plenty for us to explore and tonnes of dog walks in the area. As to the Gite, well, loads of room, really, really well equipped and the log burner, to die for! Martin and Michelle really did think of everything!! I had the pleasure of meeting Martin and can honestly say he is a really great bloke, on that subject, Dave and Simone could not do enough for me, when my car gave up they sorted a mechanic for me, wood for the log burner, no probs, got that for me too, a vet, told me the best place to go. Was there a down side to my stay there? Yes, I was there 4 months and it was far to short a stay, over far too quickly, this is a place you will want to come back too again and again, I am already planning my next visit there if Martin and Michelle will have me back :)

We are located in a really peaceful rural area with a single track lane running past. The small village of Saint-Julien-Le-Vendomois is a 15 minute walk away which has a bar/bistro that also sells the daily bread.

There is so much to see and do in the area with the beautiful old medieval village of Segur-le-Chateau 2miles away and Pompadour with its race course, home of the national stud is only 10 km.

There is a choice of several lakes with beaches/activities 2 of which are 20mins and 30mins drive away.

There are many other outdoor activities in the area such as horse riding, fishing, go karting and of course biking on the lovely quiet roads, these can also be hired locally.

Being right on the edge of the Dordogne it also only takes 1.5 hours to get to the famous town of Rocamadour set into the cliff side there are also lots of beautiful caves around here to visit.
